NATO chief warns war with Russia ‘is at our door’ and tells Europe to be ready for action ‘now’ to avoid battle on scale ‘our grandparents and great-grandparents endured’

NATO chief Mark Rutte has warned that war with Russia ‘is at our door’ as he urged European allies to prepare for action now or risk facing a conflict on the scale ‘our grandparents and great-grandparents endured’.

Speaking in Berlin on Thursday, Rutte said too many NATO members remained ‘quietly complacent’ about the threat posed by Moscow and insisted Europe must urgently ramp up defence spending and weapons production to deter Vladimir Putin.

‘We are Russia’s next target,’ he said. I fear that too many are quietly complacent. Too many don’t feel the urgency.

Jennifer Welch is not the voice Democrats need

Jennifer Welch’s rise isn’t mysterious. It just looks that way to Democratic elites confused by a failed-reality-star-turned-podcaster commanding real influence. The reason is that she’s not interested in their rules.

The line “when they go low, we go high” defined how party leaders wanted to be seen during the first Trump administration. As technology kept eroding legacy media’s power, MAGA set about building parallel institutions. The Left, by contrast, stayed inside the gates, relying on the power it already held.

SLOBODIAN: No coffee for you — Ottawa’s DEI Ramadan rules crossed the line

So, thousands of Shared Services Canada (SSC) employees had to forgo coffee breaks and lunches during the month-long Ramadan 2025 to spare a few fasting Muslim coworkers from feeling uncomfortable.

Managers were instructed to schedule key meetings and chats around times when fasting “energy levels were low.” Work wasn’t to interfere with their pre-dawn and post-sunset Suhoor and Iftar meals.

Hindu Nationalists Trash JD Vance for Wanting His Wife to Share His Christian Faith

Such nationalists are persecuting Christians in India with “vigilante violence, targeted and arbitrary killings, and demolition of property and places of worship.”

Religious persecution remains a global scourge, and America’s nominal friends are sometimes as bad as its adversaries. Such as India, in which religious minorities suffer greatly under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Hindu Nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party. The country’s underlying intolerant attitudes have been highlighted by recent Hindu nationalist criticism of Vice President JD Vance’s Catholic faith.

Carney’s pipeline deal with Alberta will move us a little closer to climate Armageddon

Whether Mark Carney’s sweetheart deal with Alberta will lead to the defeat of his minority government is, admittedly, an interesting question.

But arguably even more interesting (not to mention important) is this question: Will Carney’s deal move us — and the rest of the world — a little closer to climate Armageddon?

Sadly, the answer is, unequivocably, yes.

Populism without populists: New polling reveals Canada’s puzzling political contradiction

Canada is experiencing a period of political turbulence that is easy to misinterpret precisely because it lacks spectacle. There have been no sweeping electoral realignments, no mass populist insurgencies, and no wholesale rejection of democratic institutions like we’ve seen in other peer countries. Governments continue to function, elections still confer authority, and leaders continue to win votes, leadership reviews, and confidence tests.

Yet beneath this surface continuity, leadership authority is being challenged. Leaders survive procedurally while struggling to retain confidence, coherence, and durability. What defines the current moment is not a single crisis, but the slow accumulation of internal fractures: leadership reviews that resolve little, caucus dissent that spills into public view, and parties that appear organizationally intact yet directionally adrift.

Everything is fine in Europe: the Caliph’s family lives near Charles III

Trump may have abandoned Europe, but Europe abandoned itself first.

“The leader of the Islamic State in Somalia has a wife and three children in Britain,” reveals the Daily Telegraph. Abdul Qadir Mumin lived for a long time in the United Kingdom, where he obtained British citizenship and delivered sermons in London mosques. During that period, Mumin married the British Somali Muna Abdule and had one son and two daughters, who still live in Slough.

Does Slough ring a bell?

Slough is a town eight minutes by car from the royal family’s Windsor Castle and from Eton, the school of the English elite, and has a 30 percent Muslim population.

Look at the REAL source of Nick Fuentes’ sudden rise: foreign bots

Nick Fuentes turns out to matter a lot less than his promoters and detractors have been assuming: His rapid rise is built on foreign bots, not any genuine American fanbase.

The online-extremism-tracking National Contagion Research Institute’s bombshell report shows that the Holocaust-denying, self-proclaimed racist’s “surge into national visibility” was driven by engagement from accounts located outside the United States — mainly in India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Malaysia and Indonesia.

I have said it before left and right agendas are vastly overinflating his alleged acceptance and reach.

Trump wants to boost European nationalists. Should Canada be worried?

The Trump administration’s implicit endorsement of “patriotic” European political parties has renewed concerns about American meddling in Canadian political movements and causes.

Washington’s updated National Security Strategy, released late last week, says little directly about economic or security ties with Canada. But it raised eyebrows among Canadian national security watchers with its full-throated support for nationalist parties in Europe and its vision for the future of the Western hemisphere.

“It’s not clear to me if they consider Canada part of European ‘civilization’ I doubt they consider us civilized.

US: Surging Socialism and Anti-Semitism Masquerading as Anti-Zionism

November 19. New York City. Park East Synagogue. A mob of Muslims and “leftists” block the entrance and terrorize Jews with shouts of “Globalize the intifada” and “Take another settler out.” The protest took place two weeks after a self-declared socialist, Zohran Mamdani, won the New York mayoral election. His spokesperson said that he “discouraged the language” used by the protesters, but, she added, incorrectly, “sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law”. She was referring to an event at the synagogue hosted by Nefesh b’Nefesh (Soul to Soul), a Jewish group that facilitates immigration to Israel.
